Today really is an achetypical example of why reading scorecards just does not give you enough info to determine who bowled/batted well. Steyn picked up two top-order wickets and mopped-up the tail, Ntini took two tail-enders. Reading the scorecard, you'd rate Steyn's wickets higher but, in reality, Ntini was easily the bowler of the day and just very, very unlucky.

AWTA, Ntini was absolutely world-class today and should have had a few top order wickets too.

You forgot to mention the fact that he got hit for 6 second ball, pretty sure Prince picked that one.

Prince going along nicely, 37 off 36 balls, doing a good job supporting the debutant. South Africa well on top.
